Biography:
My work tastes like expired childhood. I am a Chinese illustrator who specializes in comics and editorial illustration. I like to capture a sense of melancholic nostalgia through not only characters, but also lighting and atmosphere. My work has been recognized and exhibited by the MoCCA Arts Fest, Printed Matter and The New School Free Press.
